Nateland | Ep.

[@MikeTerry1969]

This is Mike Terry, and no I'm not the guy from the country music channel on Sirius XM, but I do listen to him. Brian is correct, I'm from Utah and met Brian once at Wiseguys. I've seen all 4 of you live at one point or another, and love ya'll so much. Thanks for the laughs.

[@jordanmadden7388]

Mike Terry from Utah is officially famous.

[@wakenow1]

Myke terry is an awesome vocalist

[@heatherb.6170]

I love rested Nate! He’s on fire today!

[@joshyoung7184]

Dusty is a true man of the people. Barely takes the time to watch Nate’s special but all over the you tube comments with the folks

[@williamgaleano4392]

And yet he checks his phone during the podcast.. he is just a regular man... like all of us. Even if he doesn't want to

[@julezonyabrain]

We call it “ the ick”!

[@jasminelozano9575]

Can we take a minute to recognize the King of the Segue: Brian "Breakfast" Bates. He is so good at turning the topic when things seem to start getting too heated and/or losing steam. That Physics to March Madness switch was golden!

[@andrewtankersley8361]

The chaos of this episode is top tier entertainment. Don’t ever change.

[@kalabyrum]

Mr B, I sure hope your little girl gets your resilience. You are so great at not only taking the hits from everyone around the table, but also at self deprecation. If she gets your resilience, she will rule the world.

[@comedyauer]

My mother-in-law works at a Scheels, she said they showed Nate's joke about the store at one of the employee meetings and they loved it!

[@Baylee1018]

That’s hilarious! 😂😂😂

[@MikeTerry1969]

I saw Nate's act live when he told that joke and he left the funniest part out of his special. It was something like, "An employee asks you if you got the gun there and you say 'You better hope I did'.

[@kayekirk5631]

“Hello Folks!” from Fargo! I am HUGELY thankful to each of you for this podcast. I was widowed in January of 2020 and this podcast has been a big source of laughter and comfort in the years since - especially during the loneliest time, which was at the start of the pandemic where we had to be isolated. I’m so grateful to all of you! A few weeks ago you talked about earliest memories and I wanted to share mine from when I was only 9 months old. For many years I’d always had a memory of Mom handing me over to Grandma inside my grandparents’ farmhouse porch and that Grandpa was crying. I always wondered what it was about and if the memory was even real. It wasn’t until I was in high school that I learned it really happened. It turns out that on the afternoon that JFK died (Nov. 22, 1963) my parents had an appointment in a larger town and my grandparents had agreed to babysit me. My parents drove me out to their farm and Mom handed me over to Grandma inside the porch. That’s when Grandpa broke the news to them that the president was dead. I asked my folks if Grandpa was crying and they said he was, which I believe is why the memory stuck with me. I don’t remember anything else from that day; just that particular moment - but I remember it as though it was yesterday. Keep up the great work everybody! It's much appreciated!!

[@ReganPolk]

Huge Dusty fan here and love what he brings to the Nateland squad. I am a medical provider and always get a good laugh whenever he starts riffing on anything relating to health or wellness, but what he said last week about sunscreen after Burns Badly’s sunburn story had me especially in tears. Depending on their components, sunscreens are designed to either reflect harmful UV rays from the sun away from the skin or to absorb the UV rays themselves before they can penetrate the skin and cause damage. It is highly unlikely that any listeners are here for Dusty’s medical advice, but wanted to clear the air before anybody throws out their sunscreen. Thankful for all of you guys! I am a listener for life.

[@madison_kr]

That’s true but it’s also true that sunscreen doesn’t block all of the rays. It blocks a large portion of UVB and only some UVA. The UVA is the part that goes deeper and does longer term damage so when you block the UVB and then stay in the sun way longer than usual you don’t get that pink first feeling warning that he was talking about that warns you that you’ve had enough UVA. Also, there are so many studies about different times of day being better for you based on the balance of A/B rays. I’m certainly not saying we should never wear sunscreen but there are lots of interesting studies on the topic and I believe this is what he is referencing. 😊

[@joelfry144]

Nate was MURDERING this episode. Absolutely blistering hot. At the top of his banter game. Loved it!!

[@elizabetha788]

I don't know if it's just me but I'm always so impressed with Brian "A Beautiful Mind" Bates and his ability to remember and recall so many things. Is it genetics or do you have a technique that helps you remember so much? I now reference Brian in my regular life as "this guy I know with a super impressive memory". Love everyone's energy this week!!

[@matthewdemes8321]

I've been watching since the beginning, giant Nate fan, saw him at The Vic and then the Chicago Theater and is easily my favorite comic all you guys are great together. I must say though Brian you're ability to roll with the punches and and lean into the jokes sometimes at your own expense is so refreshing and the world would be a better place if there were more of you. Keep up the good work you ole bag of bones, your making your daughter proud:)

[@LA_Ohhey_Shotani]

Back to the States and finally my home State. You could do a 10 hour episode just on “Florida Man” stories. Can’t wait to hear how crazy this 10-part episode is going to be.

[@markfrenzel4718]

Nate struggling with Saskatchewan got me good 😂🤣

[@joshkilgore9264]

If there was ever a wish, I wish we could live stream Nate's thoughts in a subtitled movie. The Dusty not invited thing is awesome.😂😂😂

[@caseylecarlson]

“Isn’t every city the same age really?” This cracked me up!

[@chrispage5535]

As a florida native we finally get the Florida episode, and it takes an hour and ten to get into it! JK always love the banter!! Dusty said Vero Beach!! That's where I live!! woot love Dusty even more!!

[@TJTreat-wk7zc]

I’m the guy who asked Dusty to sign the stack of photos. I have 21 nieces and nephews that I’ve bonded with over comedy, specifically with Dusty’s comedy. It wasn’t easy explaining to 19 kids why the 2 who got photos were my favorites.

[@DustySlay]

You gotta lead with that next time

[@luisitaps]

@@DustySlayI don’t think this is a real thing lol

[@DustySlay]

@@luisitapsyeah I agree with you

[@Christis4ever]

💀

[@elizabethhernandez1456]

We really need an update next week on if Dusty went to John Crist's birthday!

[@HopeWaller-dm3zy]

Florida is the scape goat for all of America. As a Floridian it feels really great to hear 4 non-Floridians back us up. Florida is the best! Glad y’all like it too!

[@eMegMBea]

My family is all from the Midwest, but my parents LOVE FL, they go every year. They're actually there right now 😂

[@tehdebil]

"whatdya start at 3?" I'm deadddddd☠☠☠☠☠ hahahahahaha

[@Amberrr90]

The gang created an absolute heater with this episode. Hysterical. The 4 of you have the best chemistry.

[@Amberrr90]

Also the blue eyes and sun thing is so true. If it’s really bright and sunny I have to have sunglasses. When there is snow on the ground and the sun comes out…talk about a nightmare for us blue eyed people. The reflection from the snow and sun make the brightness 10x worse

[@HelloAwesome]

Hey Dusty, its Jacy here! Your CT show was a hot one and it was amazing meeting you. Thanks for the shoutout! Hey bear!!

[@britcodes]

My favorite thing ever is when people mess up words (or names). Thank you for delivering on this EVERY SINGLE EPISODE 😂 You can lose your sense of humor but as long as you never learn too many words, you’ll always have me as a fan

[@dottiemack1]

The birthday discussion felt like a conversation that would happen over the cafeteria table in middle school

[@mckenziescow7442]

Nateland podcast book club? Sign me up! 😂 Love the podcast. Thanks for the laughs!!

[@TheFancyFarmgirlHolly]

Dusty’s been sitting on this nipple piercing story for a while. Three years in and just hearing that makes me confident we can listen to this show indefinitely for years to come.

[@Nash_Nismo]

Just scratching the surface, no doubt!

[@jaronera]

Saskatchewan had me crying laughing 😭😂

[@MikePresley-x1m]

HEY! I got Brian's autograph at Henry Cho's show at the Bijou in Knoxville! I even asked him to sign it as Brian "Breakfast" Bates!!! We had a great time at that show. Got tickets this week for Dusty's show in Knoxville in October....... can't wait! Cathy Presley

[@MrsTidwell1026]

I remember using a coke can to get a discount at six flags and eating a sack lunch in the parking lot. I loved it growing up!

[@elizabethhernandez1456]

Same!

[@kalabyrum]

Me too!, 😂😂

[@reginablack1320]

“Where do ya start at, three?” Ok, I’m cryin’!

[@lisahood2837]

YES!!! oh Nate! 😂

[@alexhutchings4815]

The gaslight on Better Business Bureau for not extending an invite is crazy.

[@eMegMBea]

That's one of the best names yet!! 😂😂😂😂😂

[@maxjames8764]

If you’ve never been to Destin, Florida… You’re missing out! What a fun place, and the beaches are beautiful!

[@katylynnj]

Amen I used to run away from Panama city Beach to Destin when I lived in PCB.

[@grantworstell]

I like when Nate brags a little bit. He’s always so humble. Talk your talk Nate!

[@Jax_904]

As a native Floridian , I can’t wait to listen. #jacksonville #DUUUVVVAAALLLL

[@joshfox3427]

I got tickets to Arron's show he had in dayton a few weeks ago. I wasn't able to make it so I have the tickets to my cousin and his wife. They never heard of Arron or the nateland podcast. Arron did such a good job on stage it's safe to say y'all got two more fans now. Y'all keep up the good work.

[@princesssummerland7269]

Nate talking about not being able to get the yo yo to come back up made me cry laugh. I’ll be laughing about that all day 😂😂😂

[@kathyhubbard607]

The gang were on fire this week! I had some really belly laughs

[@MrEzekiel1982]

That Audacity of Despair Obama joke deserved more. I got it in the moment (I went to Notre Dame). Aaron is carrying the weight of this podcast on his broad shoulders

[@elizabetha788]

Aaron's burner account 😂

[@BigD42886]

We need a seperate video released of just Aarons close up shot. Give us Aaronland!

[@andrewellis1099]

37:11 Aaron’s “oh yeah 🤤” when Nate mentions his hot honey pizza was the funniest moment of the episode 😂

[@Nash_Nismo]

That’s a Professional Eater, mind you

[@diannawilliams6923]

Dusty, I’m in your court too! Praying the other three guys you sit with regularly start playing at your level.

[@abbeywainsworld]

Great episode! Love when Nate is well rested and zinging ❤️

[@stephanielee8219]

Always enjoy this podcast! Y’all are close to episode 200! A celebration is warranted…and Dusty’s INVITED 🤣❤️Every Wednesday is now my fave day!

[@davidheath2060]

Love hearing that Nate likes taking pictures with people. Fun story of how Covid ruined me meeting Nate - My wife and I were going to his show in early 2020 in Madison WI. We got there early and went out to dinner only to see Nate eating with someone one table away. My mind immediately went to, "I need to get a picture, but also we need to do something funny like send over a glass of milk with ice". Before I could do anything, my mom calls me to rant about how bad Covid is even though it had just started making headlines. My wife and I had a trip to Europe planned, and I had to assure her that our flight wasn't cancelled yet so we were still going. As I hang up, I look over to find Nate is gone already. So I didn't get to say hi or take a picture, and two weeks later the airlines cancelled our trip to Europe. Love you guys and the podcast, keep up the great work!

[@Danishay11]

John Anderson IS an underrated legend!!!! Good call, Dusty

[@JordanLane06]

I introduced my sister to Nateland recently. About five minutes in she exclaimed “NEXT” sorry guys you may not have gained a new fan but I’ll be a lifer. Keep up the good work.

[@Kmc9]

Great story. Thanks for sharing.

[@MattB_138]

I'm curious to hear what she would consider good entertainment

[@jordanmadden7388]

“NEXT!”… lol so good

[@joshwitherspoon4210]

Yea I’ve tried introducing people, too. It’s a bit of a slow burn. It’s hard to immediately get on board - I was such a big fan of Nate that I wanted to bear with it. Now I feel like I NEED it! Ha! Great cast - they’re all very necessary for the success of this show.

[@Mkvhskate]

I don’t understand why you felt the need to share this…super uplifting haha

[@jayyebra]

I’m from Texas and my girlfriend is from Vermont. I can absolutely relate to the way Nate is describing Scheel’s, which is like a Buc-ee’s. We went down to Texas recently and I told her we had to stop at Buc-ee’s and she asked “what is it?” And I said “It’s Buc-ee’s!” And she asked again, “yeah, but…what is it” to which I finally realized there’s no other way to explain it other than it’s an experience.

[@manjsinghsangha8525]

“The lowest high point” Poor ol Blunder. Must have been a gooder way to say that! Listen every week and have huge respect for you all.

[@Christis4ever]

Every episode ive loved. This one was just something else. Incredible job.

[@timmcpherson9384]

Geez I’ve commented too much already .. but .. I always turned one eye in photographs for a laugh (also got married in 1997). My wife told me not to do it in our wedding photos. So of course in our wedding album we have one close up shot of us sitting on the steps of a sandstone building with me turning one eye.. oh so slightly.. which I pointed out after we picked all the photos, paid for the package and received the photo album.. love your show guys it really helps to take the stress out of my day keep it up!! Btw I’d love to send you the photo I’d be thrilled for you to show it!!!

[@ULPmoives]

You guys are a comfort during hard times. I have Jesus, I have my kids and I havs you guys to put a smile on my face.

[@bjmaxwell]

As a senior accounting major we had a seminar on professional attire. We were advised the tie ought to settle at the bottom of the belt. Thirty years and belt holes later, I need to tie two ties together to make that work.

[@Baylee1018]

😂 I felt that in my soul!

[@lynnwilson4205]

One of the higher points is located in Mount Dora. They actually sell shirts saying, I hiked Mount Dora: 184 feet.

[@Richard-wz9zi]

Dusty is top of my party invite list.

[@dhimmelhaver]

Dusty should have a movie where the concept is time travel. He has to talk his younger "20 year ago self" and convince him to change to better the future.

[@nancydroodlez]

Gardening tips, plant jokes, and now Yo-Yos? This pod delivers it all!

[@gracecprzywara]

If *Dust-y* was gonna have a burner account it would be *Sand-y*

[@angie7164]

You mean Sandyt :)

[@chadharker6376]

I love that they make Dusty read the add about pork -- when he adamantly and regularly tells us he doesn't eat pork. Love it! Keep up the good work!

[@stephxx78]

I live in Fort Lauderdale, great jobs on covering Florida. Love you guys 🧡.

[@PatrickWilliamson-jk7rr]

Hey guys Loved the Florida episode. Listened to it traveling to see my dad in LaGrange, GA. Dusty’s comments about the family taking lunch sandwiches to Six Flags had me rolling. My family did the same exact thing. Nothing like a hot ham and cheese in the middle of summer smelling that dirty asphalt parking lot. Good times! Also, I had a Dolphins and Cowboys starter jacket as a kid. Still have the Cowboys. Thanks for all you guys do! Patrick Williamson

[@kevino2500]

I think we should call him Baited Breath. That way when Nate has to wait at an airport with him, we could say he's waiting with Baited Breath. 😂

[@jcascarelli01cascarelli45]

You guys are so interesting. It doesn't matter what the subject. And it's always hilarious.

[@jordanpowell1571]

Long time listener, first time commenter. Everything you guys said about Florida is true. I am born and raised in Jacksonville and it is so true that the north part of the state is more south than the south part of the state. Also, would love to get to see the whole crew if you ever came to Jacksonville, so far I have only seen Nate perform live.

[@adambaltes7734]

I think we can all agree the military is the standard for best looking uniforms, yeah? As to ties, "The bottom hangs within 1 inch of the top of the belt buckle. The tie does NOT cover the belt buckle." Sources you ask? Glad you asked. Navy Article 3501.37. Dusty, once again, is correct.

[@tulayamalavenapi4028]

😊 Agree... The triangular point at the end of the tie gets lost if it hangs over or on the belt. When the point is above, (but not too far above), it shows nicely. (What's the point of having a point if it isn't visible! 😅). Course there are ties that are "pointless" 😂.... with a straight across end, but those are not very classy.

[@evandoylethinks]

Dusty’s Mortal Kombat ideas was gold! 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

[@timothymiles7620]

I love this show still discusses and argues about the water cycle I learned when my kids brought the stuff home in third grade.

[@BiggTonyy]

I grew up in Ponte Vedra Beach and worked Valet at The Players many times! And my old neighborhood is directly next to the Ponte Vedra Concert Hall!

[@junelove2002]

I've lived in Ocala, Florida my entire life and was so excited to hear the topic of Florida! My jaw dropped when I heard Aaron had been to my town! But It's pronounced O-cal-a. Long 'o' sound, short 'a' sound on the first a, a short 'u'sound on the second. It's a great little town! Let Nate know we're getting a Buc-ees here soon-who can we talk to about a live podcast at the grand opening?!? What do ya think folks?? 😁

[@lisatapley9596]

Aarons laugh makes me laugh 10 times harder🤣

[@CAPTClOUDS]

I was a former employee at six flags when I first graduated. I was a life guard, was one of the most fun job opportunities I had. The Waterpark closes before the main park so everyday we got to go have fun till the park closed. Also the employees had a personal food court which had so much to choose from.

[@Jchari78]

I died laughing when Nate said “can you imagine someone using a picture made after your show and they cropped you out” because I got a picture with Aaron after one of his shows that I thought I looked pretty good in, so I cropped him out and used the pic for my office badge, lol!

[@MichelleJacobs-o1q]

I relate to the discussion of a joke not taking as much time as expected, but in a teaching situation instead. I teach kindergarten and sometimes the lessons go way shorter than planned so we play a game or something. So what do you do in a situation in a comedy show where you notice your timing is short? Is that where you might work in crowd jokes or do you bring in old jokes? Do you ever start doing improv? Maybe that's when you could ask the crowd to shout out suggestions of what they want. Like maybe, "The plant joke!"

[@ethangilmore8767]

Cows and Citrus Floridian here. Dusty is right: Florida is great. Saw Nate in Melbourne FL last year, great show. Another band from Florida not mentioned: The Allman Brothers. Also, it’s great to listen to a reliable podcast where I know I don’t have to worry about scientific accuracy or being intellectually stimulated. I can just stare at the wall and zone out for an hour.

[@Lisa-44]

When Nate taped his last special here in Phoenix and opened with the Scheel’s joke, they were in process of building the first one in AZ. It’s now open, so maybe Dusty should tag along for this next special taping and check it out! Can’t wait to see Nate again in a couple weeks!

[@cjt2099]

Please have an episode where the four of you golf! Even mini golf would be fun!

[@wakenow1]

There's already a bit where they played a round of mini golf.

[@Annabelee27]

Hello Folks, Today a client called in because her online banking account was suspended. Turns out…she’s deceased, at least in our systems she is. Our client was apparently as surprised by this as I was, and even more surprised that a daughter she had never heard of notified us of her passing. 🤣 I must say, she seemed to be in unbelievably good health..not at all like you’d expect from someone that died last year. Thankfully, we had good laugh about it, figured out the issue, and I was able to get her resurrected in her online account. This reminded me of the “dead” horse story! 😂 Tell Brisket and the boys hi! I can’t say enough about how much I enjoy your shows, Wednesdays are my favorite day! Sincerely, Annabelle

[@ineedmyhat]

I want Brian and Aaron to get some acting gigs so they can get recognized like Nate and Dusty. I've a feeling all four guys would make fantastic actors, especially if they had to play serious roles.

[@KenzieKindt]

I think it would be fun to see a map of all the states that have been talked about on the pod. You could fill in a new state after each state-episode. I’m a visual learner 😂

[@justingibson6915]

Thank you Dusty for calling out the word ‘irregardless’. It’s ridiculous, it sounds like something Aaron would say and I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s said it on Nateland.

[@chrisradcliffe6928]

This episode is number one! Aaron mentioning Ocala (oh-cal-uh), where I was born was so cool. I got to see Nate perform in Miami and Dusty in Gainesville (I wonder if he still has my hat). Y’all are right, Florida is made up of many different and unique people, but that’s what makes this state great! Much like this podcast. That’s Bates for choosing us this week.

[@lisatapley9596]

FYI...The "cal" part of "Ocala" is pronounced the same as "California", and it is the horse capital of the world, and it's about an hour from Palatka, where Bryan performed recently. Also, John Travolta lives in Ocala, it has a big neighborhood where you can just fly your own plane in and out of.

[@suzannesowada9783]

Guys!! I am a Floridian and a fan of our state. I do hope you have a Part 2 episode because you left out some critical sports stuff. The Tampa Bay Lightning have won 3 Stanley Cups and the Tampa Bay Bucs have won 2 Super Bowls, including a game played at home…during Covid! With Tom Brady! The Tampa Bay Rays have had much success since dropping the “Devil” from its name. (Can you comment, Dusty?) Keep doing what you’re doing! Love every episode!

[@ShilohStuttle]

in honor of Nate coming to Louisiana in April, I think yal should do a "Louisiana" show. please keep in mind there is way more to Louisiana than New Orleans! love the show, love listening to the show!

[@chrisscott5882]

Nate's take on "Breakfast Soda" is absolutely 100% correct. I come from a breakfast soda family where this behavior was normalized by my dad starting each day with an ice cold Mountain Dew and my mom with a Diet Coke. Few things are better than a morning soda.

[@PineiroFam]

I've been waiting on a Florida episode for so long. After Tennessee, Florida claims Nate as their own 🙂We entertain Nate with Disney in Orlando and rocket launches on the Space Coast. Shoutout to Aaron and his Rays hat!

[@CasualWithRyanProctor]

Soder would murder on this podcast. Let's get him on!

[@ahoblit]

I have to say. I love the seating arrangement for this podcast. Brian seated in the facing position really holds it together. It would not have the same dynamic if we had profile views of everyone. Really makes the viewer feel included. Nate in that front facing seat wouldn't work the same. I don't know why. Good job whoever thought of this arrangement.

[@APcaveman]

My name is Ross Blaisdell, and I’ve been loving the podcast since I found it only a few months ago. Dusty talking about how he wouldn’t hang out with “20 years ago Dusty” really hit home. Now I know it not just me. Over the past few years I’ve realized that I’d never want to hang out with “20 years ago Ross”. That guy was not having a good time. Thanks for talking about that, Dusty, and thanks for the fun podcast, guys.

Brickhouse Bates Brian! Just saw your set at your friend’s bday (the one with so very many views) and your Opry Debut. Hilarious. I took the family to Nate’s show in Boston and Nick, Mr. Stephen, and Nate Killedt. Hope to see the rest of Nateland crew on my southern travels!

With Dusty's saying he uses coconut oil for tanning I realized he is a real life Cousin Eddie!

[@matthewdavids2921]

High Folks! I love listening to you all working from home. My wife and I also listen to the standup specials to fall asleep too. My wife can never finish Dusty Slay's stand-up special. The Tennessee Kid is the favorite between us. We used to listen to Dateline episodes but found that we woke up suspicious of each other. Have any of you been approached to do any narrative work associated to sleep ASMR?? We think it would be a hit.. Take care. Matt D

[@grateful5881]

@Nateland Would love to see Dusty do another episode of eating spicy/hot food with somebody, somewhere, talking about stuff, sometime. Love those!

[@lisahood2837]

how bout Nate?!

[@mariannarogers4798]

Who wouldn’t want to read a book by Breakfast? I’d love his memoirs, or even just his diary. Imagine… giving back a stolen base, wearing a NKOTB tee on the first day of senior year, accidentally stalking a woman in a parking lot, awkwardly offering to take unwanted fan pics… just some of the many stories that would take the reader on an emotional roller coaster. Breadbox’s tales would have you saying “bless your heart” one moment, and have you feeling like you’re watching Scott’s Totts the next. An instant best seller!

[@AnneMartinelli-cb6ux]

Shout out to Dusty for mentioning Vero Beach where I live. Also hometown to country singer Jake Owens.

[@ricardomenendez2709]

So with my last name being Menendez, there’s only like 13000 people in the US with it. Well the person who founded St. Augustine was named Pedro Menéndez de Avilés who was likely my ancestor. I’ve never been to Florida, but I’m Cuban and have a lot of family that lives over there. Id like to give a huge thank you to the podcast for being so great and making my week better.
